Does your dog toothpaste remove tartar? | FAQ
No toothpaste or product can remove tartar once it has formed.
To understand why, it’s important to distinguish between plaque and tartar.
Plaque is a soft deposit that forms on the teeth every day.
If it is not removed regularly, it mineralises over time and turns into tartar.
Tartar is a hard, strongly attached deposit, similar to a build-up on the teeth.
Once formed, it can only be removed through a professional veterinary dental cleaning.
Products that claim to “remove tartar”:
- often act only on the surface
- may contain whitening agents
- do not replace a proper veterinary procedure
What, then, is the role of toothpaste?
Oral care products play a key role in prevention.
When used consistently, they help to:
- reduce plaque build-up
- keep the mouth cleaner
- improve breath
- support gum comfort
